Adam Harvey's concept design for the Anti-Paparazzi Handbag will make that pesky paparazzo wish he had never messed with your privacy.
The purse is designed to emit an obscuring strobe when a camera goes off that gives off a powerful, bright light. Adam Harvey's purpose for designing this handbag was to communicate one's desire to not be photographed.
